I have traveled to the USA 24 times and nothing can shock me anymore. I'm probably the biggest kid on earth when I'm there. Everything fascinates me, any exaggeration is still not big enough for me, and when I was in Washington for Memorial Day in May, I was probably the biggest patriot there ever. I know I only see it all through the lens of a tourist and don't have to struggle with the difficulties of everyday life. But I too would probably have a huge car, a way too big house and set the AC to 64 Fahrenheit and couldn't drink a Coke without at least 4 ice cubes.

Regarding broken cars in the US: When I was in college, I worked with a guy who went on a trip over the weekend during the winter. When he got back, he told me he hit a bad patch of ice in the mountains on the way back. The car actually flipped over and crashed into a tree. He was extremely lucky, because the passenger side was completely crushed in, and the roof was gone over the passenger seat. He could have frozen to death up there, but as luck would have it, the car ended up on its wheels, the engine still ran, the wheels were undamaged, and no fluid lines had broken. He was able to resume his journey home. On the way, a cop pulled him over and asked him if he was OK. He told the cop that he was, and what had happened. The cop told him the car was no longer safe to drive, and that he'd be happy to call him a tow truck. He told him that he was broke and wasn't intending on driving the car again after he got back into town. The cop said that as long as he didn't intend to keep driving the car around, he was free to go on his way. Once he got back, he sold it to a junkyard, and that was that.

I'm a Portlander, and I lived in West Germany/Germany for two years. I love seeing this contrast. It is so fun to see someone else's perspective of the cultures.

Actually, in Denmark, as the one place outside the US, we have a 4th of July Celebration, mostly in Rebil Hills in Jutland! Many Danes left Denmark for the US and this is for those. We had an original Timber House as a Museum in the Hills, but it sadly burned many years ago. Finn. Denmark

Great light-hearted video. No reason to bad-mouth American OR European views and standards here. Your family looks like great people ☺

I'm an American who simply doesn't think my country is perfect. I appears to me that lots of developed countries are currently more free and have a smarter populace than we do. Let's improve instead of just bindly waving the flag.

Love it!! I love America, rodeos and July 4th on the lake! Thanks so much for sharing.

I've been all over the Midwest my entire life (I'm almost fifty), and I never heard of cornhole until about twenty years ago. However, there used to be a very similar children's game called "beanbags", which, as the name suggests, used dried beans in the bags instead of dried corn. There are some differences (e.g., in cornhole you can score points for just landing your bag on the board; beanbags always required you to actually get the bag into the hole, although in some cases the hole was larger, and you were usually standing a lot closer), but it's _essentially_ the same idea. _Everyone_ had beanbags in the seventies and eighties.

These videos are always entertaining but intensely nostalgic for me. I get to remember my ten or twelve trips to Germany [10 if you don't count an in-out-in separately]. for most of the past 20 years, I was teaching international college students in Boston. A French student said that it looked like many post offices because of the flags. The students usually thought Boston architecture was weird until I reminded them that we hadn't had a war here for over 200 years. The students were definitely put off by the drinking age limit. The Germans who were age legal wanted to get real beer, so I took them to a craft brewery, where they were intrigued by the list of choices, and most immediately decided to try blueberry beer.
I'm so nostalgic right now, NALF, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

About moving houses, that happens in at least Sweden. In northern part of Sweden, they moved the whole city of Kiruna, the cityhall, a big church and all houses 2 miles due to the iron ore mine was expanding.

I'm glad you both had a great time on your trip to the US.😊❤

There's definitely places you can walk around with an alcoholic beverage in the US, the most obvious one being Bourbon St. in New Orleans. And here in Colorado you can walk around the rodeo with a beer (our local rodeo) and festivals in the park, as long as you're in the area of the park itself. And lots of music festivals, etc.

If you want to see a Rodeo in Europe, there will be one the first weekend in September.

If you want to experience a Swabian Rodeo, you should visit the Hengstparade in Marbach. Not Marbach Neckar, Marbach Gomadingen/ Schwäbische Alb. I can highly recommend it, you can combine it with a hike in the Lautertal/ Blautopf/ Zwiefalten. It is in late September on two or three weekends.
They display horse riding at a very high level with world class horses. The "Haupt- und Landesgestüt Marbach" is run by state Baden-Württemberg and is located in one of the most scenic parts of the Alb.

Corn hole does exist in Germany, but I would not call it hughly popular.
